Guild Wars 2

Ok, I was using mostly 3, 3, 3 in the thought that:

1) Malicious Reprisal is good in a environment with so many blocks and o good reinforce of Phase Traversal, whereas Vicious Lacerations only supports you while using the sword.

2) Assassin’s Pressence bonus to ferocity buffs everyone always instead of Nefarius Momentum buffs you only while using Shiro skills and…

3) Assassin’s Annihilation gives you both enhanced damage and life drain, whereas Swift Termination only buffs damage.

…But I’m wondering if some of those choices are wrong: is better Vicious Lacerations, even taking in account that I probably use the staff the 55% of the time? Do Nefarious Momentum provide better punch? Do Assassin’s Annihilation provide relevant heals? Would I lack enough pressure if I replace Malicious Reprisal?

What are your choices and why, guys?

Malicious Reprisal is good for an all around trait no matter the situation especially in the Block spam Meta, 4-5 classes most often taken have their Meta Build be able to Chain/spam blocks, so there is always value.

Iirc Vicious Laceration Stacks perstist on weapon swap until timer expires, so it’s not always a complete waste just not optimal in all situations(it seems to be relic of when Revenant wasn’t supposed to have Two weapons).

Assassin’s Presence i believe to be better than Nefarious Momentum, since Revs swap legends so frequently.

It’s a toss up for Assassins Annihilation and Swift Termination, I say that because it depends on what you as a player needs due to your play style.

My choice when tuning Devastation are Vicious Lacerations, Assassin’s Presence, and Swift Termination, those are chosen to setup as much Burst as I can not for more drawn out fights.
